Pikey hill (4065 m) is one of the tallest hills of Solu. The name Pikey is derived from a Sherpa clan deity. July is a good time to make the trip, as this is when the local people hold their celebrations of the clan god, the eastern Chyabo Pikey. From Pikey, you can see most of the central and eastern Himalayan peaks like Mt. Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna and more. The peak also offers breathtaking sunrise and sunset views during good weather.
